Thank you so much to my brothers, Ben and David Burgis, for moral support along the way. There’s a reason why I write so many siblings into my books! We may live in different parts of the world nowadays—and there may be times when we’ve squabbled every bit as much as the triplets in this novel!—but when it’s the middle of the night and I’m scared, you are always the first ones I think to reach out to, because I know that the three of us are a lifelong team—and that means the world to me.

And thank you so much to my parents, Richard and Kathy Burgis, for teaching me what family means and providing me with so much love and support even when we’re separated by an ocean. I have been so lucky with my family.
